Re: Gentoo GNU/Linux and non-free packages (was: 'bzr init-repo .' crashes for lack of module bz2. Help, please!)

[Richard Stallman]

    Indeed, Gentoo also ships non-free packages and has no simple switch to
    tell the package manager to never install non-free packages.  But at
    least when installing a package, you can easily get a list of it and its
    dependencies including the licenses.

This enables you to achieve, with a lot of effort,
what free distros do automatically.
